I worked at a Buick/Oldsmobile dealership back in 1976 in Wisconsin. Doctors loved the Toronado due to the front wheel drive. We only sold 3 that I can recall, all doctors.
I saw this video again and the studebaker has the same colour i just love that colour and the corvair same colour wow thanks jeff and Jordan 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊
I had one of these! Burgundy with Burgundy vinyl top, brougham windows, coach lights, Burgundy leather seats. It could get up and boogie, with that huge 455 V8. I miss it. Got it from my dad. Hopefully I can find another one someday. It was beautiful to cruise in.
Hey Jeff this is a really nice 76 Olds Toronado Brougham.Always loved the body style of these.Love those door handles and that interior looks really comfortable.This car was well taken care of and plenty of power under that hood.Nice unrestored Olds at a decent price!.Thanks Jeff!.😎
If gas prices come back down this car would sell for quite a bit more than they are asking. I drove one made in the 60's and it was a pleasure to drive, but it loved gasoline. It did have plenty of power, and rode very well even with a plain interior. Thanks for showing us a couple nice older land yachts here lately!
My Uncle Gay, that was his first name and I am old , but he worked for the B&LE RR and he had the exact car but it was triple red. He sold a 72 Toronado and bought it outright. Back in the 70's if you made 80k you were living high on the hog.
Only problem with those is if something breaks you will never find the parts for it besides the general maintenance items. Thanks for sharing your spectacular find with us and we will be liking and passing it on.
my moms first fiance's dad had a 1975 Olds Toronado both my maternal grandparents had had 1972 Olds 98 Holiday Coupe & Delta 88 4 door hardtop sedan then Grandma also had a 1978 Delta 88 with a 425 CI or 7 l engine engines were downsized for the 1977 model year there were a number of large coupes/sports coupes back then I.E. Cadillac Coupe Deville/Eldorado Lincoln Continental Mercury Cougar RX7 etc.
She'd be a cruel mistress to feed, but it would be hard to find a more comfortable highway land yacht. Like the Caddie Eldos of the time, the front wheel drive and engine/transmission weight combine to make them exceptionally good in snow, too. A guy could dust off the old 8-tracks and settle into a cushy wayback machine.
Wow wow huge luxiry car, i like the name tornado, the name of zorros horse, fronwheel drive is awsome on such a big gigantic oldsmobile, this is a real gemstone of a car 🤟 😊, the price for one ltr 95 octane gasoline is 4 dollars 💵 here, thanks jeff and Jordan for this video i enjoy every moment have a wonderfull Day and weekend from tom your friend always tom 🤩 🤩 say hello to asher Sam and beans erika and the New puppy, how is asher doing and the New puppy
Yeah, I don't know if this would be a good choice for you Tom, with the gas prices over there. Although, that gas prices aren't so great here right now either. All the animals are going great Tom, we'll have to get some of them on video again soon. Asher is starting to hangout in the garage with us a bit more. Of course, Beans is always around when we're working too. Thanks for watching Tom, hope you're doing well my friend!

@@jayson657 in california 1975 and older gas powered vehicles are exempt, this one still would have to be checked, unless it was diesel powered, they are exempt up to 1997

Thank you very much, I appreciate that!

I hope that you have a great day today , and by the way Good morning to you.
Thank you John, I appreciate that. Hope you're doing well too!
Hi Jeff,
That is a perfect Sunday cruiser
Very nice example of a American luxury car. Those seats look like someone's grandma living room sofa. Very Nice! Thanks for posting.
They really do...I'll bet it's comfortable though. Thanks for having a look!
I saw this video again and the studebaker has the same colour i just love that colour and the corvair same colour wow thanks jeff and Jordan 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊 😊
That's in great shape...We never got cars that big here and that's a lot of car for a 2 door...Wow...Sweet time capsule...
Yeah, it is classic American excess for that period. It's a lot of car. They sure are comfortable though. Thanks for taking a look Zig!

Yeah, I've just been trying to have a little variety lately. This would be a nice, comfortable cruiser though. Thanks for taking a look!
Grandpa cars. He loved these and kept upgrading to I think this year was his one of his last ones..

Thanks for checking it out John, I appreciate it!
You can get parts😮there is a whole sub culture into these Machines ❤
Such a massive car but still only seats four.
It does seem a bit excessive.
4? It seats 6. There’s no drive shaft hump so the center seats have more leg room than a RWD car.

It would be a great car for weekend cruises. Thanks for checking it out!
PS is that a studebaker lark next to this awsome car 🤟 😊 thanks jeff and Jordan corvair is it sold
Yes, I believe that is a Lark. I'll have to check it out. Not sure about the Corvair.
At this point a land yacht like this one should only be used as a weekend cruiser. One very nice looking car. It is also the higher Brougham trim.
I love it.....
I had a '75 Toronado. The reason the one in this video has low miles is because they get about 6 mpg in city driving! 😛
had a '73 & '75 - - does everything work - where is it - miss my '75 Baby Blue Toronado

Looks like the Cadillac Eldorado from 76 not sure what engine was in it the last owner took care of it from the way it looks
Definitely very similar to the Eldorado. Thanks for checking it out!
No problem
Could you please feature the red and white El Camino?
No promises, but I'll keep it in mind.
Oh tornado is the name of zorros horse
I had forgotten that.
that olds was born the same yr i was, i remember my parents had one when i was i kid, mom loved it because she had a lead foot and it had enough power to kjeep her happy, she always bragged how it would pass everything BUT a gas station

here in commiefornia that car would still have to pass a smog check every 2 years
Yeah, I don't think I could deal with living out there. I've never had to have a car inspected here.
@@RamblinAround it used to be paradise here, now it's a over crowded hell hole
Aren’t older vehicles exempt? Even in the people’s republic of NY older than 1996 (obd2) don’t get inspected for emissions.
